The statement explained that Mr. Chaib emphasized, in his speech on this occasion, that "in accordance with the vision of the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Algeria places comprehensive development and respect for human dignity at the core of its national strategy." He added that this stems from a "firm conviction that the sustainable management of the migration phenomenon requires addressing its root causes by supporting economic and social stability and enhancing development opportunities."
The Secretary of State further highlighted that "Algeria adopts a comprehensive and balanced approach in dealing with migration issues, based on reconciling humanitarian, developmental, and security requirements, within the framework of respecting state sovereignty and the provisions of international law."
Concluding his speech, the Secretary of State emphasized—according to the ministry statement—that "migration issues remain a collective international responsibility that necessitates strengthening solidarity and multilateral international cooperation. This is essential to ensure the realization of sustainable development goals and to guarantee dignified and humane treatment for migrants, in consecration of the values of justice and human solidarity that should frame joint international action in this field."
